Last time we went they had a Christmas show with singing and dancing. They also have a great light display and lots of decorations.

Have you been to the hotel before? If not, just visiting the hotel is an experience. Walking the paths and exploring the lobby/atrium, going into the fort, seeing the gators, checking out Key West and the Everglades - it is all great.

thanks for the info...

how long do you think it would take us to see ICE plus look around at gaylords?? Also, my dh thinks we should see it at night?? He feels the
aturium looks better at night is this true??

too. I heard that there is ice skating????? I can't find any
info about that

I think you can easily spend 1-2 hours wandering the hotel and seeing everything. Personally, I'm a shutterbug so if you like to take pictures, leave time for that. They also have some nice places to eat and/or drink so if you want time for a relaxing drink or snack, factor that in.

I agree that the atrium is much more impressive at night.

How is the hotel itself to stay at? I dont know anything about it, thinking of going 12-31.

Just an FYI. Don't forget that Gaylord Palms charges for parking. I don't remember how much but I'm thinking $10 or $12.

I heard if you eat at one of their resturants the resturant will validate your
parking receipt so there would not be any charge...is this true??
